Best hack squat machine?

Looking to one day buy a good hack squat for myself. What do you guys think is the "best one". Like one that feels super super smooth and that I can go ATG on despite being short. With a good grippy footplate.
Same question for leg presses. Like looking for one of those with the angled foot plate so you can put your feet low and the change in angle prevents your feet from slipping. Also that I can get ATG on.
 
I have a small basement gym and have a combo unit. It’s a parabody serious steel, picked it up slightly used. It’s as good as you can expect from a combo unit. For squats the foot plate feels a tad small and for presses the seat feels like it should decline a little more. Ultimately I’m happy with it because I got it cheap. I never looked up the specs but am guessing it can probably handle 1000 lbs.

Not sure your space/budget. If money is no issue and you have the room separate machines probably function better. If space or funds are limited the combos get it done. On marketplace you’ll find basically new machines fairly cheap and might be able to get some plates thrown in too.
